Can you encrypt this device with a third party program such as Truecrypt? How would a program like Truecrypt interact with the standard encryption and password protection on this EHD?

WD's SmartWare can activate 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption in the drive controller (overview of the drive on WD's site) Installing 3rd party software based encryption will work the same as a non-hardware encryption external drive and if you use both, the data will be double encrypted and require two passwords to decrypt.

I am sorry I do not know the ans. I suggest that you contact WD for that information.

for CCS encrypted discs it will not upconvert over component. If you take a look over at videohelp.com you will find that there are 3rd party softwares that will allow this upconversion to happen.

If you upgrade to Windows 8 Pro my understanding is that you can encrypt the SSD drive. Alternatively, buying Bitlocker alone might be enough. This would be a Microsoft question more than an Acer question.

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider:http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

All flash drives (jump drives; whatever) come with some 'firm-wear' that allows them to communicate with a new computer. This particular model not only comes with the basic interactive programming but it also includes an option to let you encrypt whatever you store on the flash drive. You do not have to use the encryption option but if you do, no one will be able to see the contents that you encrypted without a password. There is no such thing as a truly blank flash drive - your computer will recognize it as a 'mass storage device' or a 'disc drive.'

Hello, not sure how you would encrypt the disk -- but Ubuntu usually knows the correct drivers to install for everything. That is the main reason I use it for fixing up older computers. Mostly just load program & you are set -- you can look & see if your laptop would need adjustments on ubuntu hardware page for laptops -- it list a lot of machines & the quirks that they might need as far as special settings. Hope this helps a little

I'm using this to switch HDMI video between two PC's and one Monitor. I don't think it cares about content encryption. I have also used it with a ROKU media player.I hope this helps you.

Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed. It worked beautifully... until I tried to start up one day and my PC replied it had to do something as apparently I had switched it off incorrectly... Usually this is quite harmless and windows starts up without any problems... but you've guessed it: not when the system has been crypted. After having tried everything, I had to use the Rescuedisk I had made to decrypt my laptop... which took a cool 26 hours!So... I have been cured and removed TrueCrypt as soon as the laptop worked again! Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed.

Yes - that is how I am using it - I love the little bugger - however if what you are working on needs security - this is not the answer. Hope this helps.

I have two colleagues who attempted to use this same flash drive with Ubuntu and it did not work. This drive was issued to us given the need for encryption. Unfortunately, having a new mac and as I mentioned about my colleagues, it was of no use.

From the manufacturer: Except for the basic security control by using ESSID and 64/128 bit key length WEP encryption, the EW-7228APn also supports the advanced security features, like MAC access control, IEEE 802.1x authentication, TKIP, AES and hide ESSID. It provides a total solution for you building up a secure wireless LAN network environment that can prevent from all kinds of hacker intrusion.

This adapter does not encrypt anything. It is no different than a FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 adapter or USB to Mini USB. The functionality is simply to connecting a cable to a machine that does not natively support that cable. I have used this with my G-Raid, which still reads via FireWire 800. So far the adapter itself has not broken and still does it's function without issue.

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. The DTLPG3 encrypted secure flash drive is hardware encrypted and cannot be altered. The security program that runs in Windows or Mac that allows you access to the data partition on the drive is placed on a Read-Only partition. As such it cannot be formatted/removed so the drive would not be capable of being made into a linux boot drive. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

Just received an answer from Kingston Tech support. Wish I had know this before purchasing the DTLPG3 as I wanted the highest level encryption. Here is the answer from Julio A.:DTLPG3 has a 128 bit encryption while the DTVP30 is 256 bit advanced encryption and geared more towards corporate environments while the DTLPG3 more for the consumer user.If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to this e-mail with full email history. Thank you for using Kingston on-line technical support.

I believe you can password protect it if you like. It comes with instructions and software sites, but I just use them for straightforward back up. They are really fast and at a good price.

Sorry, I do not know. My guess is that the device's operating system has a way of password protecting the storage running on the device. But it may lose the protection once removed from the device. Wish I had a better answer for you.
